Bang Bang Boogie Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'm surprised Ceci, Siemens and Percy didn't get an invite. Then again, Canada looks to be stacked on D this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbyte Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I 100% disagree with where your going with this.. The Russians are going to be so jacked up for this tournament and have 2 goalies we have trouble beating. If vasilevski is at the top of his game we could be in serious trouble even with RNH, who also just said he hasn't felt 100% lately. We always have a stacked team and yes I do agree this team is a lot more hopeful than previous years, but the 2 big reasons we lose everytime IMO are... 1. We stop hitting and underestimate our opponents desire to not only win, but beat the Canadians(who think they're the best). That gives them a more fearless mentality when they aren't looking over their shoulders and making mistakes.. 2. our goaltending always seems to be a question mark. If this turns into a goaltending battle you wouldn't be stupid putting your money on Vasilevski to steal the game from us... I'm not trying to be King of ES or nothing I'm just saying our key to domination is in the physical department. No doubt we have the skill to win but if we're hammering the rest of the world for 60 mins every game, it's going to lessen their scoring chances and increase ours. I can assure you this tourny will be no cakewalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Algur Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Anyone know who will make the Sweddish team? Aren't Landeskog and Larsson still elligble? Any chance they will play? What about Zibanejad? If those 3 players are able to and decide to play Sweden could be hard to beat? Edit- just checked both Larsson and Landeskog are 20 already even though they were drafted in the same year as RNH. Nice break for Canada, bad break for Sweden.

BabychStache Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Heard on NHL home ice radio that Ottawa will not allow Zibanejad to go to the WJHC. Thats crap, if he wants to go, let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wow, can they even do that in a lock out year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsasaki Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Sweden will not be a contender with Zibanejad, Brodin, and Klefbom out. Finland takes a step back as Granlund is too old. If there's a sleeper team, I think the Czechs could surprise some people with Musil, Frk, Hertl, and Faksa. USA looks solid with Jones, Skjei, Trouba, Miller, Biggs, Galchenyuk, Matteau, and Gibson between the pipes. Russia looks good as always with two solid goaltenders in Vasilevski and Makarov. Throw in Grigorenko, Zlobin, Yakupov, Khokhlachev, and Zharkov, looks pretty good to me. But no Kuznetzov or Tarasenko will hurt a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 it's their choice to let their prospect play.if they want to handicap the swedish team for the good of canada, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Boogie Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Which goes to show you just how good Corrado is that he got an invite. Not bad for a 150th overall draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 So, which team is better, this one or the one in 2005? Also, no McDavid? I guess this was a decision based on his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thad Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 2005 will always be the better team until proven otherwise. Just look at the superstars that are on that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Without using hindsight to say look how many guys became superstars, id say going into the tournament this team is close to 2005. The difference was Crosby. We all knew he was the best player in the world before he stepped on NHL ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KING ALBERTS Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 they should get some locked out NHL players to come train and practice with the team while their still in Canada... i bet the practice games would fill a stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
